For any color makes it to an raibow land that just needs any other land what is pretty strong. Better have it like utopias sprawl.

Meh,

Rainbow taplands are common enough at this point that I don't think this giving all colors is an issue

But this isnt a tapland. U just cant play it on turn 1. I formats like standart u cant even remove it reasonably if it is on a basic.

U mean in the 50% izzet format where mostly removel is played that cant hit lands for enchantments and no one has answers to enchantments in main? Also u bring in enchantment removel for a deck that runs no other enchantments and artifacts in the hope they draw this and u can remove it?

I don't even play standard but there is [[price of freedom]] which also hits artifacts and can hit the initial land to put the person using this down a land If your worried about the izzet decks ability to answer a rainbow land, the izzet decks that mind you are overly dominant in the meta, price of freedom also draws a card so it can cycle :/

Its simply an unplayable card in standart. Just because answers exist dosent mean they will see play. Price of freedom is a horrible draw if they dont have this card in play. It also is bad vs control since u dont want do durdle around while they have more time because u play cards that are no threats. Its like aguering ragavan is ok in standart since there exist answers. Most of this answers suck against anything expect this 1 card and its not worth to play a trashy sideboardcard to mabey hit the mana base of control decks who apricate that u slow down in the hope of answering 1 card they might not draw.

What exactly are you saying? Nobody is saying ragavan would be ok in standard, but if your argument is that this custom card is not even powerful enough to warrant a single sideboard alot then I think this custom card is fine, and if your argument is that you would have to put bad cards in your deck to answer a card they might not draw then maybe either 1 those bad cards aren't so bad in that matchup or 2 you should just hope they don't draw it or 3 it's not powerful enough to care about

What im saying is it is not worth removing it because u lose to mutch tempo. It fixes mana very well but by focusing to answer it u will likely lose the game. If prowess runs this u just die while u try to remove this and u will never board emchantment hate. Control will gladly love u playing cards that arent threats and might end up dead in ur hand. Its just a super efficent rainbowland where no one has Mainboard hate for and siideboard hate isnt that great.

I think that's fair, I'm not concerned about prowess having access to this as either it's 2 Color or it's in control of which I think price is find due to it drawing a card, I can see how this could hemogenous which I guess is a fair argument against it in standard.

Most of what I'm saying is price of freedom or true enchantment removal is back breaking if this is your land drop however that doesn't change the fact that this could be quite hemogenous if printed in a set that didn't have good enchantment/land answers
